Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 September 2022
521. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of part V homes purchased by each local authority over the past two years; the average cost of each home; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42163/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department publishes comprehensive programme level statistics on a quarterly basis on social housing delivery activity. This includes data on Part V delivery per local authority, which is available on the statistics page of my Department’s website, at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/.
Cost information on the delivery of social homes through the various construction streams is collated by my Department at development/project level, rather than at individual housing unit level. The cost of constructing new homes is dependent on a range of variables, including location, scale of the development and the size and type of the homes involved. The table below sets out the average cost to the exchequer in 2020 and 2021 of Part V social housing delivery by local authority.

The information above is based on the financial information available to my Department. Delivery does not necessarily occur in the year of approval or spend.
Agreement on Part V arrangements is a matter for the local authorities. In some cases the Part V average cost is affected by delivery of homes that were subject to agreements prior to the current Part V arrangements. Complete details of Part V arrangements are available from the local authorities. It should be noted that with some Part V units, while recorded as delivered in 2020/2021, have not had costs claimed or recouped as yet and so are excluded from the average costs shown.
